Change Log

Personal data is subject to frequent changes. Therefore, for review purposes or as a result of legal regulations, it may be necessary to track the changes made to this data. When these changes are logged, you should be able to check which employee made which change, the date and time, the previous value, and the current value, depending on the configuration. It is also possible to analyze errors in this way.

Logging changes on person related data is not relevant in SAP Profitability and Performance Management as data is only read from operational source systems or systems with permanent data stores which have actual data lifecycle management into SAP Profitability and Performance Management for calculations/processing. Since SAP Profitability and Performance Management has no permanent data storage, the local temporary data is deleted regularly and the calculated final results data are written back to the source systems, the assumption is that change logging has to be implemented in these source systems.
